The most convincing plague to the Pharaoh was arguably the death of the firstborn, as it directly targeted his own household and lineage. This devastating event not only caused immense personal loss but also signified a direct challenge to the Egyptian gods and the authority of Pharaoh himself. The emotional and societal impact of this plague ultimately compelled him to release the Israelites, demonstrating its profound effect on his decision-making.

The Bible does not provide a specific number of deaths resulting from the ten plagues of Egypt. The plagues, as described in the Book of Exodus, include various disasters such as the death of the firstborn, which would have caused significant loss of life.

Thus, the exact number of those killed during this time remains unknown.

The ten plagues described in the Bible primarily affected Egypt, specifically targeting the Pharaoh and the Israelites who were enslaved there. The plagues, which included events such as the turning of the Nile River into blood and the death of the firstborn, were meant to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from bondage.
